The Anker Zolo, at a stated 30W over USB-C. The Pursonic claims fast charging but does not publish a wattage.

The Pursonic. A 10,000mAh pack is typically lighter and smaller than the Anker's 12.45 oz body.

Do I need to bring a cable?

Not with the Anker Zolo, which has a built-in USB-C cable. The Pursonic's cable situation is not stated, so plan to bring one.

Anker Zolo Power Bank 20,000mAh vs Pursonic 10,000mAh Power Bank

Buy the Anker Zolo if you need real capacity and fast charging for a phone or two on a trip. Its 20,000mAh battery and 30W output with a built-in USB-C cable cover a full weekend of top-ups. The Pursonic 10,000mAh is the cheaper, lighter pick for short outings, but its listed specs are thin and its price has swung from $24.99 to $6.00 in days. Check current prices on both before deciding.
